Last year on the blog I brought you 2016’s hottest colour couple; red and charcoal. It was a stunning combination of soothing softness mixed with punchy warm accents. Just talking about it has me excited that Autumn is finally here again. If you want to see what all the fuss was about, you can click here to look at the dreamy photos of red and charcoal doing their thing in the bedroom. It was truly something.
Now, if red and charcoal have you smitten (and why wouldn’t they?), you’re more than welcome to rock this colour couple again in 2017. But before you decide on your Autumn shades, let me show you another sublime option. Because if you ask me, this season is all about blush and grey.
The added bonus is that you can win a prize pack in these gorgeous shades from my friends at Lorraine Lea. All the details are the end of this post. You’re welcome! 😉
Blush & Grey Decor Love this Autumn
The biggest selling point when it comes to blush and grey as a colour couple is that together, they’re the perfect blend of masculine and feminine. I always veer toward any aesthetic that achieves this sense of balance, because it makes your space feel well resolved. There’s a great contrast between the two shades but it’s not visually shocking. And in a space like a bedroom, nobody wants to be visually shocked!
The other bonus of blush and grey together is that you can control the dominant tone. Obsessed with pinks? Turn up the blush by rocking a bold feature wall. Or lay out a blanket across your bed like in the photo below. The Ultra Soft Blanket you see here is lightweight but wonderfully warm – and I love the embossing.
If grey is the colour you want to feature more of, go for it! Use dusty blush tones in accent pieces like bedside table accessories, or cosy cushions. Even a pop of pink flowers is a really nice touch against a grey backdrop. It’s all up to you!
Blush and Grey: Versatile and Easy to Introduce
Blush and grey are no wallflowers; they’re happy playing with just about every other colour in your home’s current palette.
They’ll work with black, white and beige. Plus you can introduce mint and indigo tones into the mix if you want to make the look more stimulating and visually varied.
In terms of other materials, warm metallics like copper and brass will work wonders with a blush and grey palette. As will both light blonde tones or moodier brown and black furniture.
It really is such a versatile colour combo. And if you look to pieces in these tones that feel cosy and tactile (like the Harper throw below; don’t you just want to touch it?), it’ll make the entire scene so cosy!
Hopefully your mind is as blown as mine is by the ravishing colour combo that is blush and grey. I love the sense of warmth it brings to a room. And as an avid fan of Autumn (I am so glad that summer is over!), I cannot wait to curl up under a blush blanket, grab a grey cushion and watch some trash TV. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is my current guilty pleasure. I won’t apologise for it – I’m hooked!

I love the feel of Lorraine lea products. I just got my first Lorraine lea quilt cover and I am in love. Definitely going back to buy more, just wish they weren’t so damn expensive!
Amazing how colours around you can change the way you feel. This colour combination oozes comfort and warmth. Gorgeous.
I’m obessed with greys especially when they paired to together with a soft pastel colour like blush. Together they give the feeling of cosy, comfortable and calming. Love them 🙂
Hi Chris,
how beautifully complementary are these two colours? They work so well together & give a feeling of luxury and warmth….PLUS my bed is a light grey metal colour so my imagination has gone into overdrive after reading your Blog!
I’m ashamed to say, I’m so totally new to Lorraine Lea products that I don’t have any at all in my home yet….(pssst…don’t tell anyone).
Many of my friends use & have spoken about Lorraine Lea linen’s range. The different textures, softness & the quality is simply amazing so I’ve been told!
So….it’s time….after writing this to you, I’m heading over to Lorraine Lea to check it ALL out!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! x
The Lorraine Lea range is exquisitely lush and extravagant, showcasing décor that is beautiful on the eye and the skin. Offering both comfort and style.
Blush and grey is such a beautiful colour palet, it is relaxing to the eye and gives that right amount of contrast, that it can be paired with copper, or brass.
It reminds me of lazy mornings and cool weather.
I would love to win this prize pack!
I love the different textures, it brings a different element to the colour combo.
